Casey Reas explores organic and natural interaction of non visible processes. He initiated, in collaboration with Ben Fry, Processing in 2001. Processing is an open source programming language and environment for creating images, animation, and interaction. Signals is one of the multiple projects they realised via Processing and it has been commissioned for building 76 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Here are the informations:
Cell behavior is controlled by interconnected proteins operating in a network to actively transmit instructions. These networks become dysfunctional in cancerous cells. In this image, each graphical cluster represents signals between networked proteins in a cancer cell as they change over time. Individual arcs are signals from one protein to another; the size of an arc corresponds to the magnitude of the signal. Signaling data provided by the laboratory of Professor Michael Yaffe.
